Sounds like in hell you get your food cooked by Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver, with dessert by Mary Berry.

Could be worse.

Have you actually tasted their food or just looked at pictures of it on the internet.

    The best part of British food is that we're incredibly good at adopting all of the worlds cuisines' as our own. I remember being at the Belgian GP and literally you could have chips with various shaped sausage and one pizza place hiding at the back. At the British GP you could eat some variant (admittedly, probably not the best variant) of pretty much every cuisine you could imagine.

    Even in our supermarkets if you want to make a Paella or Peri Peri chicken you'll find all of the ingredients you need. If you go to a Spain it's really hard to find Peri Peri and if you go to France you'll struggle to find ingredients for a Paella.

      I have many times visited friends in England, and I find their traditional home cooking to be quite nice. Maybe it's a teensy bit underspiced at times, but I am not averse to actually be able to taste the natural aromas of the bulk ingredients. I admit that it may not be on the level of some of the traditional Italian home cooking I have tasted, but that would be a very tall order indeed.

      After an excursion to London many years ago (from USA), I reported to my coworkers that the food was great.

      I received the strangest looks from the British-ex pats. I still think the food was quite good, though thinking back I don’t think I sampled the “native” British cuisine.

    Anyone complaining about British food has never eaten Dutch "cuisine". After having lived in both countries I'll always defend the Brits when it comes to food.
